National Trust's Erddig Hall, Wrexham (By D0c.Col)Įrddig Hall is a Grade-I listed National Trust property in Wrexham, Wales. At the next fork, take the trail to the right which leads to a conveniently elevated TOAL point at W3W: ///. Where the footpath forks, turn left and then right. There is a public bridlepath alongside the entrance to the museum car park at W3W: /// but if the car park is open, so is the museum… If the car park is closed, parking nearby is difficult.Ī better option is to park (free of charge) at W3W: /// and follow the public footpath opposite. The main engines have been out of action for some time so there seems to be little chance of encountering any moving wagons on the line at the time of this posting. The museum sits on a section of an old rope-haulage railway designed to haul coal up steep inclines from the coal fields, while the flatter rail sections were served by locomotive-worked sections. View and discuss this location on Grey Arrows. The community here was important for two or three centuries before Devizes was established. This would have been used for people from a large area around Potterne. It has been suggested that it could also refer to the 10th century font in the baptistery connected to the Saxon church. The name Potterne is generally taken to mean 'the building for pots, or where pots were made'. Potterne people are known as 'Lambs' because of their boisterous and unruly behaviour in the 19th century. It is a place remembered by Potterne 'Lambs' wherever they may be. Little Tree on One Tree (Little Tree) Hill is said to have been planted to commemorate the battle of Waterloo (1815) at the top of Potterne Field, at 145 metres above sea level. There are two streams in the parish, one in the north flowing eastwards, and one in the south flowing southwards and then eastwards. Part of the eastern edge of the parish is on Oxford and Kimmeridge clays. The village is on Gault and Upper Greensand, between the chalk of the Marlborough Downs and Salisbury Plain.
Potterne lies to the south of Devizes on the A360 road to Amesbury and Salisbury. Just outside Potterne, a large crop circle has been made. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on. View and discuss this location in more detail on Grey Arrows. Land owner permission requirements unknown. The site is owned by the National Trust and is open to the public. Michael's Hill Tower, named after the castle chapel, stands on the site today, making use of part of the castle chapel's foundations. The castle was no longer of military value and was left to decline. Taken into battle by Harold Godwinson who held it in great esteem, "the holy cross" had also been used as the battle cry of the Anglo-Saxon army against the Normans. The location for the castle is thought to have been a deliberate political statement by Robert: before the battle of Hastings, the Anglo-Saxons had discovered what they believed to be a holy cross on the hill. The castle was part of a new settlement called Mons Acutus - literally, sharp hill - built on land that Robert had acquired from Athelney Abbey in exchange for the manor of Purse Caundle
Montacute Castle was built after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 by Robert of Mortain.
